Location:St. Kitts & Nevis are located in the northern part
of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean, 19 degrees north of
the equator, separated by a channel two miles wide.

Size:
St. Kitts is 23 miles long and 5 miles across at its widest,
encompassing an area of 68 square miles. The island's point of highest
elevation is Mt. Liamuiga, at 3,792 feet. Nevis, the smaller island,
lies to the south and is approximately 7 miles in diameter, covering a
total of 36 square miles.

St. Kitts and Nevis, like no
other islands in the Caribbean, seem to embody a kind of lush tropical
paradise usually associated with the South Pacific. The atmosphere here
is palpably luxuriant, an intoxicating blend of sunlight, sea air and
fantastically abundant vegetation. At the center of St. Kitts stands
the spectacular, cloud-fringed peak of Mount Liamuiga (pronounced Lee-a-mweega), a dormant volcano covered by dense tropical
forest. And on Nevis, too, the ground rises upward into a cloud forest
filled with elusive green vervet monkeys and brilliant tropical
flowers. For ecotourists, or simply anyone who enjoys stunning natural
beauty, St. Kitts and Nevis cannot fail to exceed expectations.

And yet nature is only a small part of the wonder
of these small, relatively undiscovered destinations. Long ago, St.
Kitts and Nevis were the pearls of the British Caribbean, rich and
enormously important islands that were celebrated throughout Europe.
Nevis, the "Queen of the Caribbees," possessed unimaginable wealth from
its super-productive sugar industry, while on St. Kitts the impregnable
fortress of Brimstone Hill stood as the Gibraltar of the West Indies.
In this venerable history is plenty of romance as well, for it was on
Nevis that the dashing young Horatio Nelson met, courted, and wedded
Fanny Nisbet, all the while attending to the whirling social life of
the island's prosperous plantation estates.

Today these islands are esteemed more for their
long stretches of sugary sand than for their sugar cane. Basseterre and
Charlestown, the islands' capitals, are among the most captivating and
picturesque of the Caribbean's colonial harbour towns. The law here
holds that no building here may be taller than the surrounding palm
trees, and on both St. Kitts and Nevis natural preservation is a major
value. Activities include outstanding hiking through the islands' rain
forests, golfing on internationally ranked golf courses, fishing,
boating and diving or snorkeling through underwater reefs and
unexplored wrecks. There is also an exceptional wealth of historic
points of interest, including restored fortresses, haunted plantations,
and ancient petroglyphs. In the midst of all of these attractions are
many of the finest and most welcoming plantation inns in the Caribbean.
Still largely undiscovered, despite their extraordinary beauty, their
remarkable history, and their unmatched charm, St. Kitts & Nevis
offer a rare opportunity to visit the "Secret Caribbean."

St. Kitts and Nevis

the
sister islands of St Kitts and Nevis with its sunny skies, inviting
waters, and sparsely peopled beaches combine to make them one of the
most seductive spots in the Caribbean.

Separated by a 2-mile wide channel,
the islands are connected by ferry services that help visitors easily
enjoy them both in a single trip!

Christopher Columbus first spotted
St Kitts in 1493, when it was populated with native tribes, but the
Europeans didn't colonize until the British arrived in 1623. Their
strategic location and valuable sugar trade led to an advanced and
luxurious development that was among the best in the Colonial
Caribbean. Those high standards continue today and, in fact, St Kitts
and Nevis only gained independence from Britain, in 1983.

St. Kitts' rich past is evident acroos the island. The 38-acre Brimstone Hill
fortress is on one of the finest in the Caribbean. Built by the British
in 1689 to defend the island agianst the French, it was returned to the
French in 1782 and then recaptured by the British the following year.

St. George's Anglican Church
was built by the French in 1670. Originally called the Nôtre Dame the
church was burnt by the British 30 years later. Rebuilt in 1704, it was
rechristened St. George's - after England's patron saint.

Nature lovers will want to take
advantage of the various tours through lava formations, tropical forest
areas, and seaside lagoons. Boating tours and scuba diving expeditions
are also favourites activities. Plantation homes have been transformed
into grand, yet intimate inns. Quaint shopping areas and beautiful
Colonial architecture draw visitors to the tiny towns.

Nevis also boasts the Horatio Nelson Museum with its prints, furniture and flatware celebrating this famous sea commander.

Nevis is the smaller of the two island federation of St Kitts
and Nevis. The islands are part of the Leeward Island chain and are blessed with
a near perfect climate. Rarely exceeding late 80's farenheight and rarely
dropping below mid 70's, the islands are constantly cooled by seabreezes and
tradewinds.Rainfall is plentifull, particularly in autumn months, making the
islands lush and tropical. The beaches on the north and western coasts are fine
white and golden sand and have very good swimming.The conical peak of Mount
Nevis rises to over 6000 feet, with rainforest above the 2000 feet contour.
Originally inhabited first by the Arawaks and then by the Caribs, Nevis's
population is now predominantly Afro Caribbean, people whose ancestors settled
following Emancipation.In colonial days, Nevis had many sugar plantations
and was home to some of the most beautiful great houses in the region and was
known at 'The Queen of the Caribees'.Many of these houses still survive as
luxury Plantation House Hotels, whilst others now lie in graceful ruin, some
even reputedly haunted such as Eden Brown. There are also still refinery ruins,
dating back hundreds of years such as the strange, quiet machinery works at the
New River Estate.Today, Nevis is still beautiful and remains unspoiled for
the most part. It is a very relaxed, friendly island and all visitors are warmly
welcomed.
